' Table Rock Battle Myth Based on Old Newspaper Story Says Mrs. Sargent By Alice Applegate Sargent We feel that the time has come when truth should triumph over fiction, and right here we state most positively and emphatically that no bultle was ever fought OX THK TOP of Table Hock. Long years ago, when Jackson ville had a splendid paper of Its own, a .Mrs. Plymale wrote a thrill ing and interesting tale of a battle on the top of Table Rock. This artitle was simply a romance, but It has been handed down to the present day, and accepted by the mass of the people as authentic history. We give here tho true story of the battle and the circum stances which led up to it: On the 17th o June, 1851, a fight took place between a small body of soldiers and the Rogue River Indians on tho banks t the stream which Is now known . Bear creek, near where It flows into Rogue river. In this fight Captain James Stuart of the regu lar army was shot through the body with a poisoned arrow and died of the wound. Major Phil Kearney was in com mand of this small detachment of soldiers. Alter the fight which resulted In the death of Captain Stuart, thn Indians fled into thy'ir stronghold at the base of Table Rock, and Major Kearney had to wait for re inforcements before making an at tack on the savages. The attack was made on the 23d of June, ISM. The Indians, who four, lit behind stone fortifications, wore under the command of Chief John, the great war chief of the Rogue Rivers. The attack was renewed on the 24th. This fight was a desperate one, and the Indians suffered se verely. Major Kearney offered to treat with them, but they scorned his offer. He prepared to attack early on the morning of tho 2,'th. but the Indians fled from their stronghold during the night. Al though they were pursued, they escaped to the timbered moun tains, and only 30 women with their children were captured. These were held as hostages. The battle was fought at the base of Table Rock where, for ages, fragments of rock had rolled down the slope, forming stone breast works. These the Indians had re inforced by placing logs on top of the boulders. A famous soldier ot the civil war, Gen. George H. Mo Clellan, tells us In his memoirs of being In this fight with the Indians when Captain Stunrt was killed. Vie, a young subaltern, was a de voted friend and comrade of Cap tain Stuart. The body of the bravo young soldier was buried at the foot of n large oak tree, and the initials of Stuart's name were cut deeply into the bark. Tho stream we now know as Hear creek was named Stuart river in memory of this young soldiers, and should be so called. Captain Stuart's last words were an expression of regret that his life had been sacrificed for a laud that would never be anything but a wilderness. Dwellers In the Rogue River val ley today, and thousuuds of tour ists from all parts of the United Slates, will realize that Captain Stuart did not give his life in vain, for tho wilderness In which he died has developed into one of the most beautiful and fruitful valleys of the world. Brisbane's Today (Continued from Page One) It is (lifTiiMilt to enforce a low when the public does not want it enforced. If you come back to earth 10,000 years hence, and find philosophers or that day lumping this 1931 period of what we call 'civilization" under the general heading of universal barbar ism," you need not be surprised. Cannibals kill a Belgian official In the Congo. Then the Belgian offi cials kill 67 natives with machine guns. Nobody invited the whites In, but that doesn't help the natives. M In Seville, Spain, ' yesterday, two workmen were killed by police, and 30 others shot. In strikes called revo lutionary." The strikers were de manding food. A reliable committee discovers In Brooklyn, biggest of the five boroughs that make up Greater New York, such corruption and vice, thoroughly or ganised, as seems utterly beyond be lief. And across the East River In Man hattan, official, politico! and Judicial dishonesty Is organized on a scale of profit running to gigantic totals. Shooting, stealing, bootlegging, hi jacking, racketeering, among individ uals here, In the land of the free and the home of the brave," such is our civilization. Austin J. Roche, police chief of Buffalo, N. Y., says America is the most lawless country in the world" and adds: Ood only knows where we are drifting." Stop this parade to the prisons by boys and girls. Once a boy or girl goes to prison, he or she is never again the ame. He is forever branded like they used to brand cattle in the west. Perhaps our philanthropists. Judges and lawmak ers could invent some better prison for young people than one in which they play baseball for exercise, go to moving pictures for amusement, and take lossons in crime from older crim inals, for their education. President Hlndenburg's appeal to President Hoover, now made public, convinces any doubters that the President's prompt action was necos sary and timely, and that Germany's financial death was not far away. It is said that the Prince Oautma, moved by the sight of a beggar's body, rotting beside the path, was turned to serious thought, and the result was the Buddhist religion. A dead Germany lying in the path of world progress, would produce no such useful result. When our eight now 10,000-ton cruisers went to sea. It was found that cracks developed In an Import ant part of the structure. That can be remedied by rebuilding in pare. Now the cruisers are found to roll s9 badly that accurate gunfire Is Im possible. Tanks and bilge keels will be Installed, and perhaps will prevent that. As for the rolling difficulties they would be much simplified in war. A bombing plane wouia drop a few thousand pounds of high explosives at La Grande. TO MEET IN JllEi JACKSONVILLE. Ore.. July 22. .

Coffee Doesn't Vary in Flavor, Because of Radically Different Process It Is almost impossible to keep bulk-roasted coffee from varying in flavor. For in bulk roasting it is difficult to roast each big batch alike. One lot may be slightly over done another a little underdone. Naturally, they each have a differ ent flavor. Hills Bros, discarded the bulk method for a process they invented and patented. It is called Controlled Roauting, and the roast is positively controlled! Variation is overcome. Every pound of Hills Bros. Coffee has the same rich, full-bodied flavor. As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow a little at a time so the uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously . . . a little at a time. No other process is like it. That's why Hills Bros. Coffee has a flavor no other coffee has. Hills Bros, pack their coffee in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. B"t Hills Bros. Coffee can t ?o stale. Order some today. Ask or it by name, and look for the Arab trade-mark on the can. Hills Bros. Coffee, Inc., San Francisco, California. i LET PURITY PROTECT YOUR HANDS " i I Put just a teaitpoonjul of While King Granu lated Soap in the wash basin or the dislipun. Watch how quickly the creamy suils foam tip how swift and thorough the rinsing is. After ward notice your hands. Soft. Smooth, No sign of redness or irritation. The explanation is that White King is a pure soap. The finest vegetable and nut oils good enough to eat are used in its manufac ture. It cannot injure anything that can be safely dipped in water the most tender hands or the most delicate silken lingerie.
